Sam Haskell exchanged the messages with head writer for the pageant telecast Lewis Friedman back in 2014, and they're pretty odious, as HuffPost revealed... (link) Friedman was ousted, and a slew of former pageant winners (e.g. Gretchen Carlson) are calling for the same for Haskell...  Variety (link)

I went to college with a woman who is now very high up the pageant food chain. She's smart and progressive on many issues, but she flatly rejects the sexism innate to these
 "scholarship competitions." I'm going to have to ask her about these (I asked her about all of Trump's BS and she never replied).

DIck Clark Productions cut ties with the pageant, calling the emails appalling. 

I know of one longtime DCP producer who hires one women on every show he works for the sole purpose of fucking her. I know of another producer at DCP who, when we needed a set nurse for a second season of a game show, asked in a preproduction meeting if we could hire “the nurse from last season with the amazing tits.” The nurse in question was my sister. 

But the emails are appalling to them. 

Fucking shit.

I won’t name the producer who hired the women to have sex with because the woman he hired for that purpose during my tenure at DCPI is a sweet girl who has no interest in getting dragged into the media fray. 

I will name the assface who decided to hire my sister based on her anatomy... he is Barry Adelman, still listed on the Dick Clark website as the VP of TV Productions. 

Barry, if you’re reading this, maybe if your company had paid me the money owed to me for the last two shows I worked on, I’d have slightly hesitated in naming you (probably not, but maybe). Remember that next time you screw over or harass an employee, male or female.
